boomer at the beach.

So I got to shoot Boomer right after we came back from the wedding. It was a beautiful day in Malibu and I met Boomer’s mom Emmanuelle at Zuma Beach. Boomer was great, well-behaved Chesapeake Bay Retriever. It was a great opportunity to stretch out my new Canon 24mm f/1.4 L II. Review coming soon… [ READ MORE ]

charlie and levi try out the photobooth.

So I have been trying to get this photobooth thing right for Evelyn’s wedding. Couple things learned, don’t use a fabric backdrop. We were down in Cerritos and there was a fabric shop with a huge sale. I got 16 yards for $35. But it was $35 wasted… the fabric doesn’t hang right. I am [ READ MORE ]

canon 16-35mm f/2.8 L lens

Canon doesn’t have many ultra-wide choices: 14L, 16-35L and 17-40L. I have owned the two latter. The 16-35L used to be one of my favorite travel lenses. Especially on the 1.3 crop body. It has since been replaced by the 24L but I still love the dramatic wides the 16mm can produce. There is the [ READ MORE ]

canon 85mm f/1.2 L II lens

I just found out they call this lens the CanonBall. And it surely is. The thing is HEAVY, short and stout. It is a piece of light sucking engineering marvel. The pictures that come out of it are nothing like you have ever seen. Sharp where focused, silky smooth bokeh and beautiful colors. The only [ READ MORE ]

canon 70-200mm f/2.8 IS L lens

The 70-200mm lenses are probably the most versatile. They are a great travel lens… able to do portraits, compress landscapes and capture images you can’t get closed to. The 2.8′s are a bit of monsters… over 3 lbs. But if you can carry it, it is certainly worth it… as is the IS if you [ READ MORE ]

canon 50mm f/1.4 lens

This is my second most used lens. Mainly because it is the small, light and convenient to take around. It also produces beautiful images. I had the 50mm f/1.2 L for a while and although I loved the build quality, the bokeh, and the colors… it certainly wasn’t worth $1000 more than this lens. Plus, [ READ MORE ]
